You lingered, you waited for me
When I was almost gone

And you were truer than true
The only one who held on through the blue

Now let me tell you

You are the morning
Oh you are the dawn
A miracle, a revelation
The love that held on

And you said, "I'll be there
Doesn't matter where or when"
You said, "maybe we'll laugh, maybe cry
That's how it goes sometimes
Either way, you'll be mine"

Now you are the morning
You rise like the dawn
You're a miracle, a revelation
The one who held on
You are the morning
The day breaking full of song
You are a jewel
For you, my love held on

You lingered, you waited for me
When I was almost gone

Here you will find little acoustic pop songs; melancholy, dreamy-folk things. Sometimes some jangly, fuzzy rock tunes or ambient pieces as well. Work-in-progress demos to finished tracks, informal playlists to official album releases. Enjoy.

I write lyrics in a wide range of genres. Work with 2 musicians (so far) and suno.com to make songs. Make videos for the songs on my youtube channel. Poet, lyricist, piano hack. Youtube is langstonify. Professor of African American Studies and Creative Writing.

No AI. None at all. Hello!   If I was good enough, something would have happened by now…maybe it  did and I just didn’t pay attention. Maybe I’m in the midst of something.

I’m primarily a Songwriter and play and sing too. 

I used to  perform with various talented artists. Im now returning to writing and recording.  Theres some evidence of this…

Theres always someone new to hear . 


Thanks for listening and providing inspiration via your own beautiful art.

Side Note :  My goal here is to upload my catalog to date... thats something ….right?

I am humbled by your kind and generous spirit and your willingness to share it.

I’ve been ignored by some really talented people.. it is my claim to fame.
